Donna Carmela Resort & Lodges

A home in the parkPlaced in the heart of a nursery specialised in Mediterranean plants, Donnacarmela is ready to welcome you in a 19th century Sicilian house that has been refurbished in full respect of the original but given all the modern comforts. Elegantly refined, the building dominates the ten thousand square metre nursery garden. Here you may enjoy a guided tour to discover the hundreds of scents and varieties of Mediterranean plants. It is also possible to admire a private collection of subtropical plants. The courtyards in lavic paving, the ancient cistern and river pebbles, the well-stocked wine cellar and the swimming surrounded by secular olive trees, the comfortable spaces designed to relax and the quiet reading room, the wide halls and ample dining room: all this has been designed to make your stay exceptional. Ten hectares in the most prestigious wine area on mount Etna are where we produce the Doc wine for Donnacarmela. The vineyards were bought by Donnacarmela in 2006 and they are between Solicchiata and Passopisciaro on the northern side of the volcano in the territory of Castiglione di Sicilia. The vineyards all grow Nerello Mascalese, the vine that produces the most appreciated wines in this area. This is where the ‘Montedolce Etna Doc’ is born from the passion and commitment of the Faro family in an area that has wine for its vocation. The name of the wine comes from the place where we produce it. The wine-making is done in a well-equipped cellar in Mascali, the area of origin of the Nerello Mascalese, only a few kilometres away from Donnacarmela.Montedolce is characterised by its ruby-red colour, red berry scents with mineral notes, and by the complexity, persistence and elegant tannin it offers the palate.We do not only offer wine and taste, however. A little lower down the mountain side, between the Ionic coast and the first hills, it is possible to find the Mediterranean plants that have found the best environment to grow here. Thus, they develop into unrepeatable shapes and colours: the Abutilon, the Agave, the Ficus, the Cistus, the Opuntiae, the ornamental Citrus plants are all to be found in the gardens of Donnacarmela. They are the essence of Mediterranean gardens. Tese plants and flowers offer themselves to visitors in all their charm.

Sibling trip. 3 nights in 2 of the bungalows 21 and 22. Fantastic rooms - whimsical decorations. 22 has the best view. Top notch service. Excellent breakfast by buffet or menu. Really nice pool. Beautiful landscape. Excellent (expensive) dinner and overpriced wine. NB: 1) out in the boondocks so you are pretty much confined to the hotel restaurant; 2) major expansion underway next door to bungalows - stick with 21 and 22, the others have construction view and noise.

Great Couple of Nights

Reviewed By PaulE696

After reading some reviews my wife and I decided to have a short stay here on our way to Milazzo. On arrival we were greeted by Federica on reception and checked in. Our room was clean and nicely set out, minimal but with everything you needed. That night we dined in the restaurant, and what a great decision that was. It was antipasti of Mussels, prawns, Salmon and finished with Spaghetti with Octopus. It was fabulous. The beds are very comfortable and after a great nights sleep, so great we missed breakfast, we had a walk into town. That afternoon we treated ourselves to a couples spa which was amazing. The staff in the KiBa spa are brilliant. After our massages we relaxed in the pool and hydro massage pool. After the previous night we ate again in the restaurant. My Fiorentina was perfect as was my wife’s steak, honestly one of the best meals I have had. Will definitely stay here again when on a late flight on to Sicily. Also a great base to visit Taormina and Etna.

Il Melograno

Il Melograno is a 19th Century manor house set within 12 hectares of pristine Sicilian farmland in the foothills of Mount Etna, looking out over the nearby Mediterranean Sea. The location makes ideal for anyone looking to take a break from their busy, modern lifestyles because here, all you'll find is tranquility and unspoiled landscapes in every direction. The rooms have all been recently restored and you'll find them perfect in every detail and furnished with original, antique Italian furniture. The manor's old mill has been transformed into a restaurant which offers an array of traditional Sicilian dishes, freshly prepared with local produce. Our farmland was certified organic in 2012, and we produce and sell jams made from our own oranges, lemons and pears as well as extra virgin olive oil, almonds, and a selection of fruit depending on the season.

Perfection!

Reviewed By smstafford

Beautiful farm with orange, lemon, and pistachio groves on the top of a hill that overlooks the city and sea. Incredible views from the terrace that wraps around the building. We rented 5 rooms for our family of eleven. Well appointed rooms with large living space. Easy access down into the small town of shops and pizzerias with karaoke. “Guisi” was a fabulous host and catered to our needs. The breakfasts were beautiful with fresh fruits from the farm, homemade cakes, and fresh cappuccino. Dinner is by reservation only and was served with a beautiful wine and finished with tasty house made pistachio limoncello. We toured the farm and enjoyed the beauty and history along with farming tips from Guisi. We also enjoyed an afternoon at Margo winery for a tasting, a sunset trip to Mt Etna - incredible (it’s a must)! This location is perfection for the accommodations and for the location and proximity to so many things. We hope to return soon and enjoy it even more the second time around. Thank you Guisi.

A charming location

Reviewed By Caterinaemauro

Petralava is a really charming location, not far from the sea and with a fantastic view on the Etna volcano. My wife and me spent 5 days there and the permanence was wonderful also thanks to Toni, the owner, very warm in hospitality and ever available to satisfy any our need. The room (apartment in our case) could be improved in heating (too hot or too cold and this is the reason of 4 stars instead of 5) but is well-finished, with few amenities and clean, but the atmosphere you can breath is unique and it makes the difference. If you are organizing a stay in the Etna area, Petralava is our suggestion
